Description

Sad poem in the Alsacien language by Andre Weckmann, which I set to music and performed at St Nicholas in Strasbourg (at a Green Party event back in 1977) and the poet was in the audience. He approved of my setting.... although he said my pronunciation was a bit too American (!)

This version uses English for the narration but keeps Alsacien for the song of the girl (see pdf for the score and mp3 or ogg file for the mp3 - also see Als e gitarr for a video with subtitles.

I am the performer.
